Dead Sea Salts

EXTRACTION: Harvested

DESCRIPTION: The Dead Sea is the densest and most saline body of water in the world.  Other saline bodies of water receive their saline properties from high levels of sodium chloride at 85%, whereas the Dead Sea’s mineral composition varies substantially as it only contains 2.5% sodium chloride.   It’s mineral composition contains chloride and bromide, magnesium, sodium, calcium and potassium.  Because of its diverse mineral composition, dead sea salts are a unique and intensely healing, hydrating and calming ingredient when added to one's skin care routine. 

Minerals from the Dead Sea hydrate the skin through a combination of osmotic balance, barrier support, and moisture retention. Here’s how they work:

1. Magnesium – Boosts Water Retention

  • Function: Helps strengthen the skin’s barrier by binding to lipids and proteins in the stratum corneum (outer layer).

  • Result: Reduces trans epidermal water loss (TEWL), allowing skin to retain more moisture.

2. Calcium – Supports Cell Turnover

  • Function: Plays a key role in regulating cell renewal and lipid barrier function.

  • Result: Healthier, more hydrated skin due to a more efficient epidermal barrier.

3. Potassium – Balances Skin’s Water Content

  • Function: Helps regulate the flow of fluids across cell membranes.

  • Result: Keeps skin plump, preventing dehydration and flakiness.

4. Sodium – Enhances Skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs)

  • Function: Supports the transport of nutrients and hydration into skin cells.

  • Result: Attracts and holds water, working like a humectant.

5. Bromide – Soothes and Calms

  • Function: Has mild anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties.

  • Result: Helps calm irritated or dry skin, improving comfort and texture.
